Abstract
Advances in knowledge and technology regarding pharmacogenomics coupled with the overwhelming access and use of a community pharmacist by patients provides a tremendous opportunity for community pharmacists to lay claim to the field of pharmacogenomics. Pharmacists are able and needed to provide testing, evaluate results, and offer patient and prescriber education for pharmacogenomics. Pharmacists must take steps to assess the entire clinical picture and use pharmacogenomics where appropriate to optimize drug therapy.
